Can you list five? I know I could list at least ten and perhaps twenty given where society is today. Not trying to be anti-women here at all. Just pondering the results of some of the "forward progress" we've supposedly made in the last sixty years.

Especially for long-distance calls, a cellphone is way cheaper than a landline phone, especially with free nights and weekends, which is standard for most baseline cell phone plans now. My other comment w/r/t your comment is: What do you mean when you talk about "unforeseen societal issues" caused by "sending our daughters to college"? Am I to understand you disapprove of women going to college even less than you approve of men going? And if so, why?

My experience in watching people has shown me that tech tends to make people angry and frustrated, especially when it's not working. Do we need more anger and frustration in our society? Michael,
